I would have you know that love is beautiful, and really, there is no wrong person to show love or receive love from.
At least from the start, there aren’t wrong people to love and be loved by.
Experiences and culture shape the minds of people and they head on to the very next relationship without taking out the baggage first.
It’s easier to find someone to blame than actually taking responsibility for one’s self.
You meet someone five years earlier and they hold beautiful views about the world, most especially, love.
Fast forward to the present day (five years later), you are wondering what exactly happened to that person who had so much hope in his eyes and love to give.
The cliche is that life happened! and this isn’t far fetched in the society we live in today.
Here are some simple tips to loving amazingly; not just for romantic relationships but all round:
- Love yourself as much as you want to be loved.
- Show love as much or as little as you would want to receive it.
Almost everything is reciprocal. - Give yourself a lot of grace. Everyone makes mistakes and you aren’t an exception. Forgive yourself and move on.
- Extend the grace you give to yourself to others. Everyone is a Work in progress and as much as you might be on a higher pedestal in understanding, others might still be learning from scratch. Calm down!
- Importantly, be kind.
I hope you come to terms with the fact that even though you might have gotten it wrong at loving others and receiving love from others, you are still perfect- nothing missing, nothing broken.
All you need to do is pick out the lessons, be real with yourself and put the pieces together.
Love is the most beautiful gift of all. To love and be loved…
I hope you find your own person, own family, own community and truly experience the allure of love.
Cheers!
